San Francisco,1950. German refugee Lina Weisz is on the run. The brazen heist of North Beach Syndicate money she and Detective Richard Dake pulled off has crime boss Danny Somoza scorching the Earth to recover it.
Dake smuggles her aboard a plane bound for Berlin without knowing Lina has tipped off and bribed corrupt SFPD Lieutenant Frank Giamatti. She’s airborne and Dake’s busted. That double-cross is only the beginning of Dake’s self-inflicted troubles.
In this sequel to Ebony Bangs, he’s tormented with temptations as he struggles to chop the spreading tentacles of the Syndicate. How far will he stray before he realizes that true love and salvation can be found behind the wheel of a Yellow Cab?
